Flavored with leeks and lemons, this pasta carbonara is especially fresh and light. With bacon and eggs on hand, dinner can be thrown together in a flash. Add asparagus and you have a (nearly) one-dish dinner on your hands. This is simply a variation of my favorite easy weeknight dinner with the addition of asparagus, which adds about a minute more to your prep time but precludes the need to make any other sort of vegetable side dish — win win. Ready to make it? Fry some bacon. Sauté some onions. Cook some pasta. Blanch some asparagus. Whisk some eggs. Zest a lemon. Toss it all together, and watch how a no-cream light-on-the-cheese sauce transforms a simple pasta into a creamy-tasting, vegetable-loaded, one-pot wonder.
